it’s wednesday, october 25, & moon is in aquarius, in the starspace called purvabhadra. aquarius is the environment of humanitarianism, of thinking more about others than about ourselves. “others” can feel like such an overwhelming project that we succumb to despair, b/c there are sooooo many others! the world is sooooo vast! there are sooooo many problems! there is sooooo much oppression! & injustice! where to start? what to do? we might heed the wise words of saint thomas aquinas, who said, “while injustice is the worst of sins, despair is the most dangerous.” we might also remember that each of us doing one small thing adds up bigly.
purvabhadra is ruled by aja ekapad, the cosmic form of agni, the sacred fire of purification. agni, like the sun (see below!), gives us clarity & so gives us a glimpse of our true nature, of why we are here & what we are meant to do. if you have an “aha!” moment of any kind today, don’t ignore it—it’s a divine message meant just for you!
it’s the twelfth lunar day, the twelfth phase of the waxing moon, which is (serendipitously!) connected to mercury & to surya, a solar deity. mercury brings a quality of calm neutrality, surya of vision. this tithi bestows wealth—whether material abundance or fame or wisdom or spiritual achievements. surya provides clarity on our path, guides us on our way. if we pray for something on the eleventh tithi, we will see the results on the twelfth. it’s fine to pray for material wealth or fame, which may seem selfish, as long as we add “if it is in the best interests of all beings everywhere.” maybe your prayer took the form of serious prep for a meeting—may it be a huge success (wink, wink)!
wednesday is ruled by communicative mercury, the wordsmith. your word is your wand—it can heal or it can harm. how are you going to wield your words today? what do you mean to convey with them? mercury wants us to choose our words carefully, be discriminating, today more than ever, b/c mercury is hanging out with fiery mars & both are combust (too close to the sun for comfort), which can encourage acting or speaking without thinking.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss.
